How to invest in Reflection AI before an IPO
Until Reflection AI lists on a public exchange, its shares can only be bought in private transactions. The main routes are:
- Private secondary market. Existing shareholders, such as employees and early investors, sell shares to new buyers, either directly on the company's capitalization table or through a special purpose vehicle (SPV). Limited partners of single-stock special purpose vehicles (SPVs) also sell their exposure to pre-IPO stocks in the secondary market. Some private companies require company approval for transfers.
- Pre-IPO funds offered through financial advisors. AG Dillon offers single-company pre-IPO funds to qualified clients through financial advisors, and directly to qualified clients. The minimum investment is $2,500. AG Dillon solicits offers from institutional broker and VC firm counterparties on each trade and completes counterparty due diligence on the best offer. AG Dillon has no relationship with any pre-IPO company.
- Talk to your financial advisor. Your advisor can review whether pre-IPO stock fits your portfolio, verify your qualified-client status and work with AG Dillon on allocation.

Reflection AI in our Weekly Pre-IPO Market Insights
Our view on Reflection AI
The views below are the opinions of AG Dillon, summarized from our Weekly Pre-IPO Stock Secondary Market Updates, September to October 2026. They are not statements of fact or investment advice.
Reflection AI has released a US open-source model that appears to perform well, particularly for coding, and reportedly uses less inference compute than some of the Chinese open-source models. We are not convinced by the equity at its current valuation, given that it has just shipped its first offering. We expect the US versus China sourcing question to be polarizing enough to win Reflection customers as long as it outperforms Nvidia's Nemotron.
- Category: we see Reflection AI as part of a US open-weight provider category now filling in alongside Thinking Machines, Inkling and Nvidia's Nemotron.
- Nvidia: Nvidia is already an investor, there is buzz that it may try to acquire Reflection, and we would be surprised if Nvidia does not ultimately dominate US open-source models.
